The blog has been really quiet as I dealt with the final days working for Olympic National Park, plus the beginning of the Insight Washington school year, AND the continuing classes at Olympus High School. But, I am now done at Olympic NP and we are preparing to hit the road for the big trip.

Above you can see a map of the tenative route we will take. It includes going out to the Black Hills of South Dakota, down to Scottsbluff, across Oklahoma to see the largest tallgrass prairie left, as well as, the pioneer sites including one of the last sod houses remaining. We will then head into the Ozarks of Arkansas and Missouri for the fall colors and then down to Louisiana to check out the swamps and cajun culture.

Eventually we'll end up back in Arizona for the winter months. So, as we hit the road tomorrow, look for the adventures to begin again and the posts to become more frequent! I am really excited to hit the highway and get back into nature, hiking, and exploring!

Just Giving Back For All To Enjoy

Why pay money to buy hiking books? Why pay fees to view trail websites? By searching my archives and checking back often to see new posts, we are sure you will be able to find the hike that is right for you ... and for free!

In addition, we provide fascinating ecological and geological information to make the hikes informative and fun. As former National Park Rangers, we know how to find the right hike for you. So, if you are on vacation, we will provide you with the hike you absolutely MUST do while in an area. Do not go on vacation without checking out this site!
